That Dolores Dei dream in Disco Elysium was one of the heaviest shit I've ever seen in a video game
The entire Raphaël Ambrosius Cousteau storyline with his wife is really great

I think the game is a masterpiece

What did she mean by this?

This was basically female power fantasy wank about man being completely destroyed to the point of him going insane, just because he lost access to a female hole. Really ugly shit.

Harry imagines her doing it out of spite when it was a difficult, pragmatic decision Harry probably would’ve made himself in her shoes.

it’s probably better written then 90% of games but it’s not a game
it’s digital fantasy gamebook
which aren’t really games either
they are more book than game
the game part consisting of skillchecks and arbitrary choice

Wait, where do you meet her?

The island at the end, sleep in the bunker.

>he wasn't congratulated by his own Volition for choosing not to remember her

>choosing not to remember her
Not an option. Even if you avoid EVERYTHING in the game that can remind you of her, you'll still get that dream once you sleep in the bunker. Even if you choose not to sleep in the bunker, Harry will probably have that nightmare the next time he sleeps.

...Why the fuck would you sleep there? You're on an island where there's a murderer loose, and the moment you enter, you get a feeling that you're being watched.

Kim or Cuno keep watch while you sleep.

While you make a very valid critique, the game does try to lead you by the nose to sleep there
Probes you to do it like twice, thrice

I entirely missed it by figuring out the crime too fast. At least I got the cryptid.

Nope, you have to avoid everything that reminds you of her and throw away her letter without reading it, but you need the help of Volition for that

Shivers can also help you get rid of the letter I think.

You miss it if you decline to take a nap at the island bunker. I roleplayed as a cop who tried to get his shit together throughout the game, choosing the most professional or at least rational dialogue options, As such, sleeping around during the last part of the investigation was considered unwise by me and I missed the dream sequence. Actually turned out to be the greater good, since my Harry technically let his ex go and she didn't plague his dreams near the conclusion.

Yeah it does

If only it were a fantasy
If only it

Reposting here, because I am stupid and didn't see the thread:

What was the inspiration for Measurehead again?

Western slav here, was it those bizarre made up races that were around in ex commie countries?
Proto-slavs from India etc?

I have no idea why they made it optional instead of just having it happen during the post tribunal coma.

He is a walking, talking personification of both the best and most autistic aspects of /pol/, but a real character instead of a caricature. /fitlit/ schizo with strong convictions and on the nose references, like semen-retention, but also real character depth that you get from the scene where you talk with him in his mom's office.
He's also most likely inspired by all the scientists that believed in phrenology in the 19th century.

>He's also most likely inspired by all the scientists that believed in phrenology in the 19th century.
Phrenology was a literal meme, nigger, it was popular with the public and not the scientific community.

Harry is insecure about his being working class and her being middle class. Communist and Ultraliberal Harry tie into this, with commie Harry thinking it was class differences (and class society) that sabotaged the relationship, and lib Harry thinking if he hustled harder she wouldn't have left

I debated putting scientists in quotation marks but I didn't want to get attacked by some schizophrenic dumping 20 posts explaining how phrenology is actually true and based in fact or something.

Ok but why did she left?

How did moralists win this hard both in game and irl? Even the devs gave us all the good exclusive content.

It’s ok user, I just wanted to add that caveat because I’m the user who started posting images from Vaught’s Practical Character Reader years ago and seen them posted here and there ever since.

EPIS hands made this post

>and most autistic aspects of /pol/,
I still can't wrap my head around how they work
Like, they have to be the most diverse and ethnically varied group of Nazis and white supremacists out there

>hardcore alcoholic dredge making pennies working 70 hour weeks in some dangerous job
>gee wonder why she left that tiny apartment and got another man

/pol/ died in 2016.

what kind of new pale lore was introduced? fuck I played the OG version and dropped the new updated game halfway in

>be a moralist
>get disappeared by the government to preserve Law

Based moralism

Inshallah this is the first and last time I will have to post a twitter screencap

don't you have a child's toy to trip over

Nice try, Coalition Warship Archer

They don’t kidnap you, Harry joins them. You can bring up the pale and still refuse to go with them and the warship operator sounds sad you didn’t join. Ig they were just covering shit up they would have killed/taken Harry, Kim, and the radio girl by force.

Might have been all of them or none of them. We will never truly know
Ultimately though, dialogue in the dream implies she left simply because she fell out of love with Harry and how methodical he was as a cop
Pretty sure there is a meta line from Dora how his speech structure is in the form of lists/trees, and that she dislikes that

Racialists who put great importance into cranial measurements are mostly post-USSR thing, because USSR propaganda told that nazis did that so people from there who became "nazis" go for it. Saw very few people on /pol/ who is are educated on this shit. He parodies racialists armed with actual scientific knowledge but in the end he is as much of a strawman as fat driver.

Also it's not even about phrenology but about using physical anthropology (which is legitimate scientific discipline) to determine ancestry.

You can get disappeared by the moralists in the game lol.

>t. Didn't read the newspaper excerpt

Finished it not long ago, how do you learn about the shooter being on the island if you arrest klassje?

If I remember correctly, the game lets you do the visual calculus check yourself without her hint.

>Implying I can read
Nice symbols faggot, too bad I don't understand them

Kim and Harry can identify the island as a possible shooter location just from the broken window. However Kim dismisses as unlikely so they leave for later.

>You can bring up the pale and still refuse to go with them and the warship operator sounds sad you didn’t join.
She doesn't sound 'sad'- she threatens you and basically says 'there will be consequences hint hint unperson nudge nudge'
luckily captain Ptolemy and the RCM start a coup just after the end of the game so it's unknown if Moralintern can reach Harry
and then the city gets nuked in the book anyways

>dictated but not read

why does everyone in the game has a retarded sounding name?

Is the book translated from mongol runes yet?

REMINDER TO ALL RIGHTISTS:
You should build Communism -- precisely *because* it's impossible.

Yeah, i did that. The game only lets you go there after the tribunal, huh. Turns out the game is way more linear than you'd think.

You're face sounds retarded

Just the first few chapters and choice bits of the latter half.

>Kim or Cuno keep watch while you sleep.
>or cuno
WHAT THE FUCK YOU CAN END UP WITH CUNO THERE?

Yes. Just let Kim get shot. He doesn't die anyways.

Yeah, let Kim get shot and the autistic little gremlin joins you
You can even recruit him as a junior cop and your protege
But he has to leave his sister behind

redpill about the pale
almost finished the game twice yet didnt really get it

> But he has to leave his sister behind
You say this like it’s remotely close to being a bad thing. Harry shooting that gremlin bitch is probably one of the best endings.

It's literally nothing, it's a void, and it might be humans fault that it even exists, but we can't be sure. It exists in patches across the planet. You can pilot a ship through it if you're careful but doing so is very bad for your health. The patches are getting bigger.

At some point cuno and cunoesse had this plan of running away and living together low chances of making it but it's still better than rotting in that place
If cuno leaves she will inevitably join the skulls or become an agent for la puta madre

>neoliberal god is a giant war machine

sounds about right

Reality gets destroyed. It might have something to do with human activity but we don't know for sure. Apparently novel by game's writer tells something about it, but it still is not translated.

Pale also stores information from other timelines. When trying to contact the warship you can hear Kim’s dialogue from when you get on the final island, despite it being possible to go there without Kim.
If you do go there with cuno later your sense’s even bring it up and freak out.

God damn it you little shit, talking about it with Joyce is one of the best moments of the game

>bad for your health
just stick your head in a forming hole of pale lol. it'll give you mental superpowers that connects you directly to the city itself.

Just because I get the chance to talk with a woman doesn't mean I'll do it
Women hurt you
